Google API Services User Data Policy
ByVeya uses Google OAuth APIs to provide integrated services such as email synchronization, calendar management, and advertising analytics. ByVeya's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Data Accessed
Depending on the features you choose to enable, our application may access your Google profile (Name, Email Address, Profile Picture), Gmail (to read, send, and organise emails), Google Calendar (to read and manage events), YouTube (to upload videos and read analytics), Google Ads (to manage campaigns), Google Search Console and Analytics (for reading SEO metrics), Google Business Profile (to manage reviews), and Google Contacts (for lead syncing).
Data Usage
We use your Google user data strictly to provide the features of the ByVeya platform. For example, your Gmail access is used to allow you to read and reply to client emails directly from your ByVeya dashboard. Your Calendar data is used to schedule meetings and check your availability. Your Ads and YouTube data are used to provide analytics and automation capabilities. We do not use your Google data for any other purpose, and we never use your Google data for serving third-party advertisements or training generalized AI models.
Data Sharing
We do not share your Google user data with any third parties, except as explicitly required to provide the core services you requested (such as hosting infrastructure) or when compelled by law. Your data remains strictly within your authorised workspace on our platform.
Data Storage & Protection
We store your OAuth access and refresh tokens securely in our encrypted database using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. We employ strict access controls, transport-level security (HTTPS/TLS) for data in transit, and Row Level Security (RLS) policies within our database to ensure that only you can access your connected Google data.
Data Retention & Deletion
We retain your Google data only for as long as your account is active and you maintain the integration. You can disconnect your Google account at any time within your portal settings. Upon disconnection, we immediately revoke access and delete all associated tokens and synced cache data from our systems. You may also request complete data deletion by contacting us at hello@byveya.com, and we will securely erase your information within 30 days.
